1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Requirements defines the equipment needs of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Border Patrol (OBP) in acquiring custom gear (Mobile Field Force Kit Items) for members of the U.S. Border Patrol Mobile Response Team (MRT).

2.0

BACKGROUND

Upon successfully completing the Border Patrol Mobile Response Team (MRT) Attrition Course, SOG issues graduating members standardized Mobile Field Force Kit Items. The MRT Mobile Field Force Kit Items, as seen in “Attachment A”, provides MRT personnel with a baseline of required items for use in conducting unit missions in respect to riot/crowd control. This kit was developed through years of extensive research and field use and it evolves based on improvements in technology or when operational requirements necessitate change.

In the past, the items that make up this kit have been purchased separately and later issued as needed with most personnel receiving the full kit of needed equipment after several years or not at all. This has proven to be a labor intensive and costly way of acquiring all the equipment that is required to supply the graduates of the selection and training course. The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will be responsible for placing orders and the contractor will deliver them within a schedule outlined below.
